Kui Kui watched the souls come and go, observing their lives—some ordinary, some dramatic, and some extraordinary.

Compared to the immortals, a human life is as short as a fleeting moment.

She didn't live the life of an ordinary person, but in this way, her life can be considered fulfilled.

Hearing Kui Xiaodi's question, she replied casually, "Humans are spiritual beings, and they know what they do. It is precisely because they know this that they keep all the sins of their lives in their hearts."

"The Mirror of Karma absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, and is a culmination of the yin and yang of heaven and earth. When it comes into contact with the soul and spirit, it can reflect the sins of a person's life. Buddhist scriptures say that all phenomena arise from the mind, which is the same principle."

Kui Xiaodi nodded blankly and said, "So as long as I feel I'm not wrong, then I'm not wrong? Is it that subjective? Wouldn't the truly wicked take advantage of this?"

King Qin Guang suddenly spoke up: "Then you underestimate the underworld officials and overestimate people."

Kui Xiaodi shrank back and hid behind Kui Kui.

"Are you afraid of me?" King Qin Guang raised his head with a smile.

"No...no ghosts, I'm not afraid of you." Kui Xiaodi wanted to be stubborn, but when he noticed King Qin Guang's gaze, he immediately backed down.

King Qin Guang smiled and shook his head.

"You're wrong. Good ghosts are never afraid of me. Those who are afraid of me are the guilty ghosts who have done evil. Have you done anything evil?"

Kui Xiaodi was almost crying from fright.

Sucking human essence, devouring human souls, and eating ashes like house rats—if these aren't considered evil deeds, then there probably aren't any evil things in this world.

"Would you like to come to the Mirror of Karma for a test?"

Kui Xiaodi shook his head like a rattle drum.

King Qin Guang's lips curled up even higher, and he thought to himself: This kid is too interesting.

He said, "Since you feel afraid, it means you still have a sense of right and wrong, so you're not all that bad. Give it a try!"

The last three words are not a question, nor a suggestion, but a command.

Kui Xiaodi realized that he was trapped by a force. Seeing Qin Guangwang's gaping, blood-red mouth, he was not so afraid anymore.

He knew he couldn't escape this time, and he said to Kui Kui, "Boss, I probably can't go to heaven with you. Don't worry about me. What goes around comes around. Go on with your business! I might have to stay in the underworld to suffer..."

Before he could finish speaking, he floated to the front of the Mirror of Retribution.

Kui Kui realized that King Qin Guang had no ill intentions towards Kui Xiaodi, and therefore did not stop him.

A flash of light appeared on the mirror, reflecting a girl who was as thin as a monkey.

The girl was about seven or eight years old. Her thin, sallow face bore the three large characters: Wang Zhaodi.

Kui Xiaodi was taken aback, pointed at the girl in the mirror, and then pointed at himself.

"This is me? Ha, so I really am called Little Brother!"

King Qin Guang obviously hadn't expected this either.

After a person dies, their ghost looks the same as when they were alive.

This is the first time I've ever seen a woman transform into a man, like Brother Kui.

While Kui Xiaodi was speaking, the little girl in the mirror carried a wooden bucket bigger than herself and struggled to walk to the river to wash clothes. Her little hands were red from the cold, but she still washed them very carefully.

After washing the clothes, Wang Zhaodi delivered them to the old lady's house, and the old lady gave her two copper coins.

She happily accepted it, carefully tucked the coin into her bosom, and took it home.

My mother and younger brother are eating lunch. They have steamed buns and vegetable porridge.

She was already starving, swallowed hard, and handed the coin to her mother.

The mother glanced at it, her face showing displeasure, and said, "How come you only have so little money? You're not eating today! You're a money-loser!"

As he spoke, he cleaned up all the remaining food on the table.

Wang Zhaodi felt wronged, biting her lip, but dared not resist.

The scene that followed was mostly like this: Wang Zhaodi was not well received at home, sometimes full, sometimes hungry, and then starving again and again.

When Wang Zhaodi was ten years old, a severe drought struck the country, and the fields yielded no harvest, making the already impoverished family even worse off.

The family's food was mostly given to her younger brother. Not to mention Wang Zhaodi, even her mother was starving.

Wang Zhaodi starved to death; she was the first to die of starvation.

Her soul remained, watching helplessly as her mother and brother devoured her corpse.

Wang Zhaodi was very sad, but what saddened her even more was that she was hungry, so hungry, and she longed to taste what she herself tasted like.

Unable to vent her resentment, she turned into a starving ghost.

That year, a severe drought killed many people. When the underworld officials were collecting souls, they missed her, and she has been wandering the human world ever since, becoming a lonely ghost.

Until it was taken away by the hairpin spirit and turned into a monster.

During the refining process, perhaps because Wang Zhaodi had always envied her younger brother and wanted to be a boy again, a strange change occurred.

The mirror of evil revealed a scene of Wang Zhaodi consuming the essence and blood of others.

Then he encountered Kui Kui, who swallowed Xuan Tian whole.

Then, the mirror became blurry.

When Kui Xiaodi reappeared, he followed Kui Kui and devoured the Gray Family Rat Fairy.

And then, that was it.

The image on the mirror disappeared, and Brother Kui slumped to the ground.

He lamented in his heart, "It's over. I've committed so many sins. How many times will I have to go to hell?"

He couldn't help but steal a glance at Kui Kui, thinking: I told the boss not to worry about me, but he really won't abandon me, will he?

Ugh, what's so great about a brat like my brother!

If I hadn't been so stupid back then, and if I had just sweet-talked my boss now, she probably would have softened and helped me, right?
